i just pre-ordered my copy of deathly hallows today and got SO excited...i got this brief picture of myself shaking in apprehension, happiness and craziness when i first hold my own Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows...this is what i want to know -- how are you going to feel when you first get your copy of Deathly Hallows??? how do you feel right now when you think of reading it...think of everything its going to have to tell you...all the new information, who dies, who lives, the wedding, the death, the fight, the love and the evil...oh my god, i get tummy butterflies just thinking about it ...lol, tell me all about it!!

P.S: mods, passerby approved me to post this thread...

First to reply yay! Well me i have just preordered Harry Potter myself. And how i would fel. Very excited when i get my hands on it. I would jump up and down. Then i wouldn't have much time to think about anything else i'd start reading it.

I am excited now and my god i'll be byone excited on the day. My mind would only be focusing on one thing read it.

So i am going to be really excited.

That's fine, however just posting to let you know that I'm moving it to the Deathly Hallows book section, where it will be more appropriate

Well, I have mixed feelings about it. While I am excited and can't wait to read it, I am also really scared that Harry will die. Also, once I am finished reading book 7, the series is over. I will still have the moview to look forward to, but the books are so much better than the movies usually are (in my opinion). They give so much more detail and all of that. I will probably be really excited and happy to get the 7th book, but I will also have a huge delimma about actually opening it up and reading it. I will enjoy it a ton while I am reading it, but I am going to be so nervous about the ending and then sad about the series being over. So, basically, I will be excited and happy at the same time as I am nervous and sad.

You know, i thought i would be happy for it to finally come out. But, it is just really depressing. No more Harry Potter books. . .i don't wanna let that go! I've been reading them for 8 years now, it's just a scary thought to think that after this summer, there will be no more HP books to wait for.

Like Potter4president, I have very mixed feelings bout the book. Of course, I can't wait to see all the loose ends being put together, but at the same time, I really don't want it to be over. When I get the book, I'll be SO excited, and a bit scared of actually opening it, knowing that after this, there'll be no more Harry Potter books to look forward to (depressing thought, that is). And I'll be a little nervous about what we'll find out; which theories will be crushed, which will be confirmed, who lives, who dies, etc... My god, I'm almost jumping up and down on the floor now, I'll be beyond excited when I finally get the book!

If i close my eyes and think about it (yes i look sad sitting in my room with my eyes closed thinking about a book) I get butterflies. There is SO much that we're all about to find out. But, along with the butterflies, i get this dropping feeling as I realise this is the final book, no more, the end. But I don't want to destroy the excitement, because it will be an awfully great day when I buy that book, see the cover, open it up and get reading and not stop until my eyes fall out! ew ... The only problem is, i think i've guessed how Harry potter DH is going to end. I know what you're probably thinking "Yeah, we all think we've guessed it," But all of my facts and thoughts have been proven and even agrred with by others on other sites.
Oh My God im nervous!

gosh, i guess everyone's kind of sad about seven except me!! i cant even bring myself to realise the fact that this infact, is the very last of the Potter series...it still hasnt hit me yet, so dont really feel sad or unhappy about the seventh book coming out...i'm just so happy and excited and elated and joyous and crazy and loony i dont have space for sadness ...i just hope after i finish reading it, i dont become too sad because that'll probably when i'll realise ITS THE LAST HARRY POTTER BOOK EVER!!!!!!!

im soooo excited cause like i want to find out what happens with dumbolder and harry

Wizengamot edited to take out all of the ooo's, they aren't necessary and were causing the screen to go out of alignment. Also please remember that short posts are not permitted. Please elaborate in your posts in future

what happens with Dumbledore and harry??? ...i dont get that...yeah, i want to read about Bill and Fleur's wedding though...that's gonna be SO cool...we've never known how a funeral of a wizard's like before dumbledore's...now we'll see how a wizard's marriage is like...i hope Jo does something different than the usual white gown bride and two bridesmaids and the bouquet and the same kinda stuff...hope there's going to be some kind of interesting additions to a wizard's wedding...

I've already ordered my copy too, and i was freaking out about it. I've already told all my friends that when HP comes in they won't be seeing me for a while because i will immediatley start reading it.

I'm super excited about the 7th book, but also a little scared because i'm afraid of who will die. And then of course after i finish i will be extremely sad because the series is over. But ya know, i'm pretty much shaking with anticipation right about now.

I'm really really excited about the last book. But I'm also very sad because I've been reading the series since I was in 3rd grade and it will be sad to see it end!! I can picture myself sitting on my bed (that's where I usually read) and staring at the book for a while like a bomb... just because I really really don't want my favorite characters to die. I've already promised myself that I wont read the last page before I acctually start the book (I do that with every book I read) I can't wait to read it!!!! The anticipation is killing me VTM is the only thing keeping me from going insane!!!

I have mixed feelings becuase for starters it is going to answer all our questions and i just wanna read it but also its the last book theyre arent going to be anymore *sobs* Also I will be going to my local book shop to get it the night it comes out but thats a school dont get me wrong im not all worried about having "late nights" but it means stupid mean people will just read the last chapter and tell everyone about it:(

I won't know how I feel until I flip to the last chapter and see whether Harry lives or dies. I hate to admit it, but I just can't imagine a scenario where Harry dies and I could feel good about it. We know that death comes to everyone, even fictitious characters, but any way you slice it, if Harry is dead and he's still a teenager, it's tragic, and I don't get into tragedies.

When I think about me holding DH in my hands I get goosebumbs all over. i want DH so badly, yet I don't want it. latley I've been telling myself that the books may end but the Hp fandom won't. Like our favourite Half-Giant said, "What will come will come, and we'll just have to met it when it does." I guess that books are soon drawing to a conclusion and we'll just have to stand up straight and face it. At least I will always have my wonderous world with magic around every corner that i first entered when I read the series. I know that I came in to that world closed the door, locked it tight, and fed the key to the giant squid. So, when I'm holding DH for one fleeting second I'll be sad, but than I open it up, read, and find myself bound to this wonderful story, world, and fandom.

Hopfully that made sense.

i realy can't wait!!!

ill be sooo excited and will be sat there at midnight in the car reading it with a huge smile on my face!

then in the morning im on me way to spain so ill be sat on the bus ignoring everyone and just reading it!

Im going to be sad and happy at the same time. I imagine that i will look at it for a couple of minutes before i read it so i can be all happy and exited and still not know how the series is going to end.I almost dont want to know, because all the guessing will be over for good. But i will open it and be smiling and not put it down untill i finnish it. I will probbably jump up and down quite a bit. : )

i will be like omg and just tear in to it and bounce up and down and we might be in florida so my aunt gets to watch me freak out

aaahhh!!! so when i got my border's alert for it, when i could preorder it, i was so mad, because it was rumored to come out 7.7.07, and then it was bumped back two weeks. but i got over it, because 7.7.07 was never for sure confirmed. but i was soooo happy. i was basically shaking with pure joy.

but as for when i get it, i dont know. i'm probably gonna be sooo excited, then really mad when i accidently read something.

im also scared for everyone, especially harry, because its always been known that there were going to be 7 books, so you knew nothing would happen to him. and now, it's the end, and nothing is guarenteed.

oh, i'd probably just shut up & stare at the cover and then just straight away start reading it...and snap at anyone who disturbs my read...I probabaly won't stop reading until i've flipped the last page...

Me too. I hate it when people try to disturb me when I'm reading a good book so I would most likely snap.

When I get the book I will be feeling so many emotions. Happy, sad, excited, nervous, anxious, scared, mad, and so on. I mean it's the last book.

I think I'll be really scared and happy and nervous. I mean, this is the last book in the whole series! Ever! I'll get it and hold it and look at it and read the back, and then I'll lock myself away and not watch the news or listen to the radio, because there's always spoilers out there! And I'll just sit and read until I'm finished. I'm not going to bother with homework that weekend; I'll be focusing on getting it read before school on monday so no-one can spoil it for me like they did last year
I may also have a screaming fit and call my friends and squeal and be excited before we all start reading

I will have mixed feelings I will be extremely exited in one way and I will be very sad cause that means that everything will come to a very sad ending....I will wish as the book nears to the end that JK will continue the series but I am not going to hold my breath on that one, I think JK has been working on this series for so many years that she is ready to bring it all to an end...

I think I'll be both excited and sad, when I receive the last HP-book. Excited, because I really want to know how it all ends and if the theories I made up in my head are at least part true. Sad because it's the last book of course. I mean you can read and reread all 7 of the HP books, but there will be nothing new to look forward to.

And whats more. I'm really arfraid more people I really like die. The death of Sirius had come as a great shock to me. I was just staring at my book thinking 'How can she???'. Then when reading the Aragog is dead-scene in book 6 I thought: 'well done, that's a death everyone can deal with (above all those who hate spiders). But when I got to the DD scene I just blew my mind...
So I really hope Harry, Ron and Hermione will survive book 7. That's all I hope for

I think that once i get the book i will go read it to see what happens and and read it till im done because it comes in the middle of summer and people have time to read it so i think it will be on like the fastest selling book list and i bet a ton of people like me will feel really happy when they get it

I will be SO excited! And so happy. And then, when I finish I will be so sad that the series is over! But I think, or rather, I hope I am going to be happy with the ending. I can't wait for all the questions to be answered! And the adventures roll out and journeys end.

i am going to be sooo excited to get the book. but at the same time i will also be sad about this being the end to the series. I am going to go into my room and shut the door and i wont let anyone disturb until i finish. Then i probably willl just want to read it alll over again. lol

I will be so happy i'll probly cry. just because i want to know how it ends but i dont want it to be the end. but then again i am always happy to get another harry potter book. even if it is the very last one in the series.

I think my emotions will mirror the emotions of everyother Harry Potter fan. I will of course be exicted to have a new book to read. I cannot wait to see how it all ends. But I will also be quite sad, knowing that there will not be another Harry Potter book in the making. I love this series and it saddens me that on July 22nd it'll be done for me.

wow wow wow!!!!!!!! i just looked at the covers for the book!! i have tons of ideas following into my head right now!!! when i get the book i will have mixed feelings...because it is the last book but we finally get to know what happens after these seven long years!! excitement and anxiety!!!

Well I know my reaction, it will be the same thing that ive done with the last three books. I will lock myself in my room and not leave or probily move at all until I finesh it. But I know in my heart when that day finally does come I will be very excited and at the same time very sad. The Harry Potter series has been a very influential part of my life ever since I started reading it. They are great books that bring happyness to everybody who reads them. Thank you J.K.R

I don't know how I will feel. I atleast will know what happens when the rest of the community does as well. I will have a upper hand over my best friend because do you believe that before I even decided to read the series and I was into the movies she told me when HBP came out that DD died and she didn't explain why Snape did it for Malfoy. Anyway I know when I open up my mailbox and it is there I will run to my room shut the phone off and read till my eyes go out of focus. Then go to sleep for a few hours and then start again till I have to go to work on that Monday but believe me that the next week I am going on a two week vacation and I go to sit in an airplane probably reread the book and the rest of series to see if I got all the hints.

I'm positive that I'll feel a fusion of Happy, nervous and excited. I know I'll be happy and excited because i'll finally figure out what happens during the final battle, and i'll feel nervous because my favorite characters might die, (Luna, Ginny, and Hermione).

Well this year im hoping it'll be special,maybe go to a release party. In past years i've gone up to the store,got my copy,and read for about 18 hours straight.Every time a new one came out i feel very jittery and jumpy i remember getting my hands on order of the phoenix after that three year wait and i started reading in the car and didn't stop till i finished.I imagine though with this being the last one i'll feel very excited but maybe a little serious realising this is the last one.

When i finally have it in my hands? Dunno ... i'll probably keel over dead from excitement.

Ok, not really, but i'll be saying "Omigodomigodomigod" over and over and probably scream right there in the shop. Let's just say that the shopkeeper will be wrestled to the ground by me and i'll be reading it as soon as i get my hands on it!

What'll i do? I'll be reading it ever since then. When i get home, i'll stop to get snadiwches, water, tissues, my glasses, and my cushion. Also a sign saying "Disturd me and i kill you".

Anyone who yells "Dinner ready!" gets it.

i totally understand what you mean
i really dont want the series to end but then again i know it will have too sooner or later.
when i first started reading HP i was at age i think like 10 or 11 and i just felt like i had something to hold on too each day.
and i REALLY dont want that to end.

mixed emotions! - iv never been so excited about one book being released before yet reaaally sad at the same time that the whole thing is ending!
its so weird because (i guess like most people) i cant wait to just get the book and find out what happens and just finish it yet i really dont want it to end because i wont have anything to look forward to once iv finished reading it and (without wanting to sound really sad) that thought actually scares me...

The days leading up the release I'll probably be feeling pretty jittery and excited...yet really sad at the same time. I mean, it's ending and there's nothing else to wonder and ponder about. Then, the night when I'm at the bookstore I'll probably be shaking and for all I know, pass out cold. But hopefully that won't happen, becuase then I'll miss out on reading time.

I think I'll get mixed emotions...
Excited that the book's finally comming out and yet a little that it's the very last.
But still, good things come to and end too; and it woulnd't make sense - for more than I've ever hoped- that it didn't come to an end one day...I mean, if it continues much longer I guess the whole story would lose it's point right?? And in that case, that'd be much worse.
I think that's what makes it great; the fact that JKR decided to finish it now, and I also think that the number-7- it is also very important, because it bares a relationship with everything that it is said in the books... "isn't seven the most powerfully magical number?"

hello basicly, i agree with everyone else! the other day, i put my name down so they can't sell my copy (i'd like to see them try!!) and as soon as i had, i burst into tears!! yesterday, i saw the uk cover, and i had a panick attack!!! so theres a pretty reasonable chance that i'll die on the spot!! i ssssoooo don't want it to end im so scared that harry will die, or the book will end with harry being all depressed, or, sirius not comeing back!! ooooohhhhhh this is gonna be the best and worst day ever!! well, sorry for being so boring!! back to you guys! love sirius

I think about it a lot.

Me and my m8 argue over what's gunna happen!


I really can't wait but i think we'll have sussed out what's going to happen by the time it gets realesed

I ordered my book a coupple of months ago, and I have not been thinking of anything else since then ! Man, I look so forwad to the day I pick it up from my letter box. Though I know it will be sad to finish it, and finally close the book, I will proboably be taking as few breaks from the reading as possible.. I can not wait to get some answers Then I will proboably read the book over and over again, and never remove it from my bedside table

i feel sad because its the last book and i don't want it to stop and i can't wait for HPDH and can you please tell me how many chapters there is

I agree with everyone else: Excited and sad!

Really excited.Fortunately,it will be summer so I will be able to read it right away.In the 6th book I found myself reading quite slowly because I didn't want it to end.So I guess,that will be the same with the last one.At first,I will admire it from the outside and then I will get down to business .

i no im going to be really excited and really tempted to skip to the back to find out what happens but i ill always be kinda afraid to read it coz i will no that thats it for harry Potter

Of course I will be excited, and anxious to read it, also a little apprehensive about it! I, of course, would love to skip to the back and find out how it is going to end! I know I shall cry at the end! Even if I'm not all that sad about what happens in the book, I will still be sad that this is the last one! OMG! *tear*
*Breanna*

I will be-of course- VERY VERY excited. I will also be very sad and determined. I will be sad because this is the end, no more Potter! I will be determined to read this without being tempted to go in public and answer the phone. Bad experience in HBP I can't wait!!!! (for the book to come out!!!)

i'll do what ive done for books 4 through 6, which is get them at the store the day they come out (usually cosco, cheap prices and no line or selling out), speed home narrowly avoiding a ticket/sccident, and read it nonstop for oh, say, 3-4 days. and then ill be sad when its over. and ill be even more sad because its the last one. so in conclusion, it will be exactly like the other books, but it won't hit me that its the last one till im done.

I'm probably gonna lock myself in my house
with my phone switched off
no internet on
no newspapers or anything
to make sure nobody ruisn it for me
because i know ther will be bulletins on myspace about what happens
things on veritaserum homepage about the final ending
and my mates ringing me tryign to tell em what happens
so im staying lcoked away from everyone until iv finished
which shoudlnt be too long
only took me 3days to read HBP
=D
